the shoe always fits

sometimes
you put on a pair of pants
or an old
shirt
and you say, what in the ham
sandwich is going
on.
the shirt or trousers are too tight.
you've gained weight
or the clothes
have shrunk
in the wash and then the dryer.
you can't
get them on.
you can't
zip them up or button them.
but with your
shoes,
that never happens. 
lose a hundred pounds or
gain a hundred pounds,
the shoes always
still fit.
after about the age
of twelve, that's it.
